The following package has been updated in the Cygwin distribution:
* texinfo-5.2-3
And the following packages have been added:
* info-5.2-3
* texinfo-tex-5.2-3
Texinfo is a documentation system that uses a single source file to produce
output in a number of formats, both online and printed (dvi, html, info, pdf,
xml, etc.).
This is a re-packaging of texinfo-5.2-2, which is now split into the three
packages listed above as suggested in
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-10/msg00568.html
The info package contains the standalone info viewer as well as the install-info
program. The texinfo package contains everything else from the old texinfo
package except support for the printable output formats (such as pdf). The
texinfo-tex package supplies the latter. In particular, /usr/bin/makeinfo is in
the texinfo package, but the command 'makeinfo --pdf' won't work unless you
install texinfo-tex.
